Pioneer DMH-160BT Receiver Details
The Pioneer DMH-160BT is a single-chassis digital media receiver with no disc drive. Everything happens on its touchscreen. The top menu shows source icons, and you swipe left to reach hidden ones such as Mirroring, AUX and Camera. A short touch on the power key turns the display information off, and touching and holding it powers the unit down. Even when powered off, the unit wakes up for an incoming hands-free call, when a reverse camera signal arrives, or when the ignition cycles from ACC OFF to ACC ON.
Smartphone integration is the main attraction. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto run over USB, and the voice key starts Siri or Google voice recognition. The Priority of Connectivity setting picks whether an Android phone opens in Android Auto or USB Mirroring. Mirroring needs a compatible app on the phone and lets you control it with taps, drags and flicks. While CarPlay is active, hands-free calling over Bluetooth is not available. An Android Auto phone pairs over Bluetooth automatically when you connect it.
For Bluetooth calls, the receiver transfers your phonebook automatically, and you can also sync it manually. It may not download every contact if the phone holds more than 1 000 entries. You can dial from the phonebook, from received, dialed and missed call lists, or from a keypad. Auto Answer picks up incoming calls, and the other party's listening volume has three levels. With SSP pairing, you confirm a six-digit code on screen. Audio streaming works with A2DP, and AVRCP adds track control, repeat and shuffle.
The radio uses BSM (best stations memory) to store the six strongest stations automatically. It also has a Local seek mode for strong signals only, and a PS scan that plays each preset for 10 seconds before moving to the next. With a SiriusXM Connect Vehicle Tuner and a subscription, you get satellite radio. The Radio ID is on Channel 0, channel lists can be sorted by category, and a passcode-based Parental Control locks mature channels. The default passcode is 0000.
USB playback covers audio, video and still images, and you can switch between file types from the list screen. Folders play in numerical order, and folders with no playable files are skipped. For videos, you can adjust Brightness, Contrast and Color. Photos can be rotated 90° clockwise and shown as a slideshow. On an iPhone, the music library is limited to 2000 songs. If English is the system language, an alphabet search bar helps you scroll quickly through long song lists.
Sound tuning goes beyond the numbers. The equalizer has five presets, Super Bass, Powerful, Natural, Vocal and Flat, plus one Custom curve shared by all sources. You can drag a finger across the bands to draw the curve. Fader and balance can be set by dragging a point on a graph. Volume is adjusted separately for main, ring, talking, navigation, voice and TA audio. Loudness has Low, Mid and High settings, and the subwoofer output can be switched on or off.
The rear camera input switches to a full-screen image automatically when you shift into reverse. Camera View mode can show the camera at any time. You can turn parking assist guidelines on, adjust them against tape markings at measured distances, and fine-tune camera brightness, contrast and color from -10 to +10. Display options include automatic dimming when the headlights come on, separate day and night brightness, preset illumination colors, and custom wallpapers loaded from USB. Firmware updates are installed from a USB drive.
